I bolted on my 1150 on to ant's Nova yesterday in a hope to have it run 140+mph but didn't.. Not quiet sure but is it possible it's to big for his combination? We didn't get to much time to swap jets but it has 94 jets in it and although he liked the way it idles and runs and he did say it is easier to stage with it running clean. It just didn't perform like I though it would. May be to big?? To much jet?

The 1050 is a 3 circuit from GW with 92 jets and it does not have annular boosters..

I'm assuming he doesn't have a wide band so the only way to know where you are is plug reading and or the time slip. Remember the procedure, ie, richen it up until it slows down then back it down to find that sweet spot.

He has my LM1 and bungs in his pipes (not installed yet )so it was a Old school test but we did bolt his 1050 back on and it ran faster even with a better short time .....Needless to say I was not to happy about the outcome...

Remember the procedure, ie, richen it up until it slows down then back it down to find that sweet spot.

I always lean it down until it slows then richen it back up a bit. Going too rich makes small changes in ET, going lean will show up much better. Just a couple of jets down from ideal can be a big drop in HP. And nope, I've NEVER seen a burnt piston drag racing.
